A lovely 8 mile run

8 miles....with my sister (who is faster than me!) and it was wonderful. She wasn't feeling very good and wasn't breathing that great, so maybe it slowed her down. Either way, it was an awesome run! I felt great, we kept it under 9 min/miles until the last mile and ended with a time of 1:11:13 with a pace of 8:54!! I've never run that far that fast!

Saturday - Rest Day???

I took today off from working out because the day was packed with things for the kids and it was SUPER windy! I ended up walking around the mall shopping for almost 5 hours!! Wow, can you say exhausting and my back hurt!!!

What? I wasn't on a treadmill?

Yup, my 4 mile run this afternoon felt like I was running on a treadmill! I wanted to do a long run today, but the 20+ mph winds with 40+ mph gusts changed my mind for me. I just did a 4 mile run that felt like I wasn't moving at all. Oh well, guess it was extra work! And the time wasn't even that bad.


I also found this cool Daily Ab exercise workout app that is quick and easy to make sure I get my ab workout in. Maybe I'll actually like my stomach someday!

Catch-up workouts

So I intended to blog daily and that's failing, so here's my catch-up. 


Wednesday, Nov 2 - Run in the afternoon 4 mile loop. Thought it was rough and was not happy about how I felt running in the afternoon. Came home to fine that all of my afternoon runs are faster than my early morning runs. Go figure!


Thursday, Nov 3 - Stroller Strides workout. Gosh, it's hard to run with both boys in the double jogger!!!

Holiday Booty Buster Challenge 2011

So, in an effort to increase my mileage and get more workouts in (aka keep the inevitable pounds added to the booty over the holidays), I joined the Holiday Booty Buster Challenge. Check it out!!!
